What type of radiation is emitted when a uranium-238 atom decays? From which part of a uranium-238 atom is the radiation emitted? Q1. (a) Some rocks inside the Earth contain uranium-238, a radioactive isotope of uranium. When an atom of uranium-238 decays, it gives out radiation and changes into a thorium-234 atom. What type of radiation
